Don't read this thread unless you've REALLY got nothing better to do

I'm at two. Can you friendly people do any better?

[Moo]

i totally forget all my hex octal n binary counting.

Most of the time, i forget what i did 2 days ago too :(

There's a message hidden in there somewhere Joel... in plain English.

Why did you bit-shift your interpretation of the message though? :/

radass, if you're reading (hopefully you're not) this is right up your alley.

[MR_PEA]

i dident bit shif the msg there just wasent an even amount of bytes there to make up it up the last one...
ill freekin do it the other way then

Ummm i dont get it?

Ahh now i got it.... pls get /two

[Joshu]

Have you got /two yet?

[Griphonix]

damn it joshu, do not bring study onto the forums. I saw enough of that this morning

[mudgie]

Heh, a teacher tried to explain binary to me once, but I didn't get a farking word of it.

[Griphonix]

it's not hard, just stupid

[*NoN*Da]rY*]

yeah i can belive i sat there and did that, i fucking hate binary :|

[radass]

dear me griph you dissapoint me. binary stoopid ? it's beautiful ..

unless you meant this thread is stoopid, in which case all is forgiven :P

[*NoN*Da]rY*]

o yeah thread = bad

[radass]

step one was pretty obvious, but yeah step 2 is interesting, that's going to annoy me now

hexidecimal is "beautiful", binary is stupid because it takes too long.

[radass]

it was never intended for human use though

[Griphonix]

um... binary wasn't either...

[radass]

that's what i meant :| hexadecimal WAS meant for human use, because assembler coding in binary was gay, wheras 2 digit hex op codes could represent the full capabilities of an 8bit instruction set in an easy to remember format (and 1 digit in the 4bit days)

binary is beautiful because it can represent any number in hardware with a bunch of simple electronic switches .. and allows for mathematical operations to be implemented in hardware extremely efficiently ..

[Joshu]

And decimal is beautiful because I can work easily with our 10-digit system.

I don't think I could deal with x = DF * B0.

Yeah, step two is annoying. Nobody on the internet seems to have got it yet. The creator reckons it's something a middle-schooler could complete, so don't bother messing around with high-complexity code grids and playfair keys. It's also supposed to pop right out at you when you get it.

I tried converting each number into its respective position (1=a, 2=b, 27=a, 28=b) and rotated through each possible solution - nothing obvious. I also re-rotated all answers for the a=z premise we used as kids, nothing there either.

[Griphonix]

there's this too:

took me about an hour and a bit to get.

[Joshu]

It's the same sort of thing, the smarter you are the longer it takes you to get.

(took me 1 hour as well :()

[<3 Ropey]

so cause im not smart at all i whould get in a few secs

[Joshu]

Supposedly. Take a look.

[<3 Ropey]

http://crux.baker.edu/cdavis09/roses.html#instructions got that one second shot

[Joshu]

Told ya. Now have a try at http://www.ninebows.com/ :p
